Let's see if I can somewhat remember my lengthy comment ... <br /><br />Your story has totally intimidated me. I'm not sure if I'm going to be cut out for beekeeping (or collecting.)<br /><br />At least you can find humor in the situation. Or, so it appears, from your writing.<br /><br />How long will it take to get your new queen???<br /><br />(And, YES! I found orange grosgrain ribbon. Spenser picked a plastic Easter egg at the register and we got an additional 30% off our order!!! I think I'll need your address again, if you can email it to me. It's been awhile.)lerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915229045413130688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-11218487497585853512011-04-10T16:09:16.514-07:002011-04-10T16:09:16.514-07:00LoL that is hilarious.

I've never had the desire to have a bee hive in my yard, and you have just now totally confirmed that because I would have cried, passed out, and then burned my house down had that scene occured in my very own back yard.

Which is potentially creepy sounding but I really love your blog and your writing style. And I was baking with honey. Anyway, I just had this feeling that I'd be reading about some bee-adventures when I checked my blog reader this morning. Lo and behold. <br /><br />You'll get the hang of it.

If she was...Sorry to hear about your flitty queen. If she was so much trouble in the beginning, maybe it was a good thing she took off? I never heard of opening the queen cage. We put ours candy side down in the middle of the hive (between frames) and make them work to get the candy out. We check on the cage and if they don't make an opening in the candy about 3 days later, we then help them out. Queens can be divas. Last year one colony decided they had enough and started raising possible new queens before she was overthrown. And bad ass bee keepers don't wear gloves. You'll get there- promise!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864957619866055174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-3376747204598071492011-04-10T03:12:41.142-07:002011-04-10T03:12:41.142-07:00YIKES.

At least sheep follow corn.<br /><br />It sounds like you're recovering nicely, though (fingers crossed).
